be for the public interest if all such mporta-
tons were put at the mercy of the first conner.
Nobody defends a proposition to make rob-
berry lawful by talking about the right of the
world to the largest benefit from all productive
faculty. But when an author produces, with
the help of a composer, an opera, and seeks
to put it on the stage here, he must resort to
all manner of crafty devices to protect himself
against spoliation. The law leaves him de-
fcnccless. If he can hold his own against the
pirates, well aud good. II he cannot, so much
tho worse for him. Some day the fact that
so monstrous IN anomaly ever existed will as
tonish postcrity which will possibly refuse to

of its gross predictions, it recognized the
pcrority of its rival. No narrower theory
perhaps can explain the obStinacy with which

for dispaSsonate minds 10 accept the self
laudation Of a period in which property in

80 TIE HANDICAP ON IDEAS

1t was announced the other day that an
actor and actress had been called TO England
TO rchearse Gilbert and Sullivan's new comic
opera, and the reason given for this proceed
ing was that Sir Arthur Sullivan could not
send the numbers Of the opera here. because
if he did so they would bc picked up by some
body and the opera would Lc brought out SUR
reptitiously. Now it is evident that this il n
remarkable situation. even though we are all
so familiar with the conditions which have
produced it az to pay little attention TO them.
Mcssrs. Gilbert and Sullivan, by hard work
skill and special talent, produce IN opcn. That
opera, one would think, is their property in
the full sense Of tho word theirs TO sell or
hire out theirs to earn money by. Nor ia il
possible to understand why they should not
have exactly the same rights of ownership In
it that other men have in the merchandise
they deal in. The attempt to establish n dis
tnction between property in ideas and that
in goods is fallacious, for it is not possible IN
acquire property of any kind without the use
Of ideas, and with regard to many kinds of
property, such, for instance, as manufactures

A CURE FOR CONSUMPTION

A novel method of treating patients suffer-
ing from phthisis is described in the current
number of "Thc Medical Record" 1t was
devised by 4 French physician, DR..
Borgcon, of Lyons who has been
applying it for two years to cases
f chronic pulmonary and throat disease
The results are said to be remarkable In
acute general phthisis there has been an ar
rest of the progress Of the disease and n cure
in few months. In advanced consumption
marked Improvement Of symptoms is rapidly
secured, night-swcats ccasing and the cough
becoming less harassing. Two hundred cases
have been treated with singular success by
DIR. Bcrgcon in Lyons, where the climate is
unfavorabc for consumptves. His method
has been introduced in the hospitals there and
in Paris, and the medical authorities are favor
ably impressed with it.
The treatment consists Of daily injections
10y enema Of mcdicatcd gases. Carbonic acid
gas when introduced into the system by this
method is found 10 bc harm css aud painless
SuIphurcttcd hydrogen is mingled with it, the
entire structure Of the lungs is permeatcd 10y
he mcdicated gas and remarkable curative
effects are observed. The carbonic acid gas
is practically inert when taken up by the veins
of the incstincs but the sulphurous
gas reaches every particle Of diseased tissue
in the lungs and throat. and is elimr ated from
the system in the process Of expiration. The
volume Of gas used is very large. AT the out
set n single litrc is introduced, but the guam
tiiy is RAPIDLY increased TO ten or twelve litrcs
Tor each injection.
The results Of this new system of treating
consumption arc so well vouchcd for that we
commend the subject to tho critical cXamina-
ton Of medical circles in this country. Con-
sumption is tho chief scourgc Of the Atlantic
scaboard. Any departure in therapeutics so
radical rs this French method deserves to be
thoroughly investigated and adequately tested
in American hospitals. DR.. Bcrgcon is not
scost, but reputable physician Of large
practice and good standing If his method be
effective and successful as he asserts, ii
merits general attention from tho profession in
tho United States

speculations in which General Logan was en-
gagged were both while he was in Congress.
Had he succeeded. just as others actually did
succeed with better luck and more persistence.
General Logan would have had fortune of
nearly So, 900, 900, and he would have been as
stainless in character as he was on the day of
his death.
The popular error which we are endeavoring
to correct is grievousy and cruelty unjust to
Congress, and has done immense injury to our
National character. Many Members Of Con-
gress are men engaged in large business enter
prises, while in fact the financial standing and
personal estate of Senators and Representa-
tives are altogether distinct from the Official
positions which they hold. We call to mind
two members of Congress from the West who
acquired large fortunes from judicious enter
prises successfully conducted and they hap
pened to be in Congress at the same time
They were both as pure and honorable In char
acter as General Logan, and no standard could
be higher but they were moro fortunate and
perhaps more skilled in business and better
trained In details than General Logan had tho
opportun1ty to become. 1t is well to look at
this whole subject with clearness and impair

HIyDR4NCES no LABOR REFORM

1t is always necessary to hear both sides
of controyerted matter, and Mrs. Helen
Campbell in her letter in to-day's TRIBUNE
gives the experience of an employer who has
been doing his best 10 improve the condition
of his hands. and has been checked and bafllcd
at every step by the frivoliy, pcrvcrsity and
folly of the objects of his solicitude. The
experience is not new. Unfortunately it has
ocen shared for many years by all who have
expcrimcnted in the same direction. OF course,
it NAV I've said that the worlSngmcn and work
ingwomcn who refuse to have their conditions
bctteled. who repay kindness with base sus-
picion or black ingratitudc, who abuse the
privileges extended to them, are merely mis-
led by their ignorance, and ought not to be
too sharply blamed. There is some truth in
this, but the fact remains that the working
people themselves have generally been as
effective hindranccs 10 their own improvement
as the greed and inhumanity of employers.
When Charles Readc embodied, in Put Your
self In His Place" the difficulties which an
enlightened workinSman encountered while
trying TO better the state of his fellows, he
was writing upon foundation OF solid facts,
as the history of tradcs-unionism in England
fully proves Always one OF the most serious
obstacles TO reform has been the opposition
of the bcnofciarics themselves.

bell describes to-day finds that his hands really
do not want TO bc better off in sanitary ways !;

every failure TO get them to accept n better

Certainly to be regarded as n "crank" by

A POPNLAR ERROR.

The tributes from the press and people as to
the integrity of General Logan's character have
been as numerous as they have been sincere
and deserved. But we regret to see
that in many instances General Logan's
lack of wealth has been taken rs the
one direct proof of his honesty. "He
has taken no advantage of his official position
to make money, is the expression of one prom
inent journal. echoed by many; while an indi-
vidual In Chicago subscribed to tho fund for
General LOgan's widow on the express ground
that, "being poor, he must have been honest"
There is a baneful error of public opinion
underlying these expressions General Logan
himself. in ways that were perfectly upright,
tried hard to make money. In 1901 he was
in a real estate speculation In Chicago. The
Chicago fire Of 1871, the dishonesty of a
banker, the financial panic of 1878, all turned
into a loss what General Logan had hoped
would be large profit. Suppose his best
hopes and highest ant:cipations had been real
lied and he nd made quarter of million of
dollars, would he have been one whit less an
honest man than he always vast
In 1s79-80. according to the statement of
journals familiar with General LOgan's affairs,
he was, with his old friend General John l..
ROutt, owner OF the Morning Star mine of
Leadvile. Tired Of holding it, ne sold his half
to General Routt for merely nominal price !;
and two years later General Routt sold the mine
fer three millions of dollars, One-half Of which
would have been General LOgan's If he had held
his interest IN the mine. If General Logan had
held on and secured the million and half of
dollars would he have been less honest or less
pure than his constant record in life showed
him to be
These little Incidents, we think, without
elaboration or application, show that man,
while in Congress, can make money and still be
honest. man IN Congress- il he ia o good
business man. has just as good opportunity to
make money by wise investments as If he were
out OF Congress- The opportunities to make
money by corrupt action in Congress are very
rare, and even when O man Is dishonest
enough to do 1t, his field Is limited. But
do not, in the name of all that Is decent, have
it understood that if man makes money while
he is Member of Congress, he thereby neces-
sarily makes it out Of his official position. The

tipguished services deserved, yet when he
ceased to be on speaking terms with the Presi-
dent and the Secretary of State, and when he
demanded as @condition preliminary to
certain treaty negotiations with England, that
the British flag must be withdrawn from this
hemisphere, including the provinces and the
islands, the strain of the situation was more
than could be borne and the removal of MI.
Sumner from the craftsmanship of Foreign
Affairs was inevitable. 1t was not all on account
